Okay, everyone drop what you're doing and take a look at this 👇

It's an isolated vocal track of John Farnham, circa around 1987, singing his cover of When The War Is Over. (Edit by @sheeds)

If you want to skip to the big chorus at the end, it's at 3:30:

@popheads @sheeds I think I can fairly safely assume everyone in Australia knows this song already.

For anyone overseas who hasn't heard it before, or anyone who wants to see the original clip, here you go 👇

A lot of vocal coachss / young international’uns are starting to discover Farnham’s work and they’re very rightfully losing their shit. Let them enjoy.

@ajsadauskas Awesome talent. I'm old enough to remember him singing "Sadie" on black and white TV. I fear Australia may have taken him too much for granted and only fully appreciate him now that he's old and frail. #Farnham #Australia #WhisperingJack

@anne_twain @ajsadauskas Saw him live in J C Superstar - with Jon Stevens and Angry Anderson - at Boondall. Great show.
